Promotion of the results to the industry (mainly SMEs) and decision-makers through the organisation of local Workshops in each country;

Promotion of the results to students, professionals and researchers by means of lectures, training courses, publications and seminars. Here a reference is made to the European Master Course on Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical Constructions, with 30 students per year;

Promotion to all the above mentioned categories by means of a dedicated issue in the International Journal of Architectural Heritage and two dedicated international conferences during the duration of the project (Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions 2010; 2012);

Promotion of the results to the general public through participation in annual or biannual specialist fairs such as SALONE DEL RESTAURO (Italy), AR&PA Valladolid (Spain) and global construction fairs such as CONCRETA/TEKTONICA (Portugal), INFACOMA (Greece) and SAIE (Italy) and BAU (Germany), etc., press release and media;

Development of exploitation opportunities for SMEs in the field, also by means of associations and organization of enterprises and productive districts (Metadistretto Veneto dei Beni Culturali, ASSORESTAURO -Italy; GECORPA and IGESPAR - Portugal, others).

Ensure the dissemination of results within technical and scientific communities and end-users groups (beginning with PM3), and the exploitation by participating institutions and in particular SMEs and Industry. The Workpackage will be monitored through the issue of an initial plan for dissemination and exploitation (M2 at PM6), by the organization of 6 main events and many other smaller events during the project duration, which will lead to the achievement of a favourable platform for dissemination and exploitation at the end of the project. At PM 36 will be realized a project presentation in form of a video.
